Marine Biologists use Dog to Track & Save Whales

A dog named Tucker, once a stray on the streets of Seattle,
is playing a vital role in saving orcas, an endangered species. Tucker, a black
lab mix, bears the proud distinction of being the world’s only working dog that
is trained to detect and follow the scent of orca scat in the open ocean at
distances of up to a mile away.

I'm a Master Naturalist and an outdoor enthusiast -- mostly kayaking, and I live on a Peninsula in the Chesapeake Bay. I'm the author of The Nature Fan, Nature Fan Activists, Green Earth Almanac, and Amanda's Geographic. Formerly, I ran the nationally syndicated column "National Green Activism" for The Examiner, and I was a key factor in the success of many campaigns.
